3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Westfield Crescent, Brighton BN1

Set back on Westfield Crescent behind a well-presented front garden, this detached chalet bungalow offers flexible living, a wonderfully spacious rear garden and far-reaching views across Patcham towards the South Downs. Neutrally decorated throughout and thoughtfully upgraded with sustainability in mind, it’s a home that feels light, calm and ready to move straight into.

To the front of the property are two comfortable double bedrooms, both enjoying charming bay windows, with one benefitting from built-in wardrobes. A modern family bathroom sits conveniently between the bedrooms and living spaces and features a bath with overhead shower.

To the rear, the home opens into a bright and welcoming living room, complete with a feature fireplace and picture rail detailing. From here, the space flows naturally into the conservatory - a superb additional reception room that extends the seasons and enhances the sense of light and openness. With doors leading out to decking, it’s easy to imagine summer lunches, relaxed evenings, and slow mornings with coffee while taking in the view. The kitchen sits just off the living space and is modern and well-equipped for everyday life.

Upstairs, a private and tucked-away room offers excellent flexibility, working equally well as a principal bedroom, peaceful home office or guest space. A large Velux window floods the room with natural light and useful eaves storage and an additional cupboard provide practical storage solutions.

Outside, the long rear garden is a real highlight. Stretching away from the house, it provides plenty of space for entertaining, gardening, play or simply unwinding, while the elevated outlook opens across neighbouring rooftops towards the Downs, giving the garden a wonderful sense of light and openness. A garage and separate outbuilding add valuable storage and practical workspace options.

The property has also benefited from several significant improvements in recent years, including a new roof (2022), solar panels (2023) and a heat pump (2024) - making this a future-facing home with energy efficiency firmly in mind.
